Two minutes of kindness is a little thing to pay for joy, for respect, or for admiration and appreciation. Tiny actions add up to a greater whole and something as simple as helping can mean more than its weight in two Pepsi boxes.
In Sarina, that was the case for one woman on a regular shopping trip.
Maxx, a young man working at Sarina’s local IGA, likely thought little of helping a woman to her car, carrying some heavy boxes of Pepsi for her.
Two boxes of Pepsi, two minutes of kindness -- nothing out of his day, really. Yet, to Astrid, the lifting of boxes into the trolley and into the car were a reflection of what makes her community so great.
“Maxx was very courteous when I approached him for help and I wanted to acknowledge his kind support to me as a customer,” Astrid said.
“To the young men and women working at IGA, we appreciate the hard work you all do. Be proud of yourself for the service you give to our local community.”
